Is it?

I think it is fertile..... is it? It's 4 days old. and I would be so, so happy as the last 11 eggs have been empty..... I don't want to move it, so this is the best photo I could get at the moment. Thanks!

Its off to a very good start. The yolk has seperated and it is chalking.
Looks fertile too me, good luck!

Thank you Kirkie and Danny. You have both just made my day! I had a stern talking to my males, and one of them must have been listening LOL.

One more quick question if you don't mind. She laid a broken egg, and then this egg. When I dug up the nest there wasn't that much broken shell to be found. If she laid another egg after the broken one.... should she be alright, or should I get her x-rayed

Thanks a mil!

She should be alright, but always nice to know what might be going on inside. So an x-ray might be in order.

Is this the 'ring of life'? the egg is 10 days old now.... I'm not sure if it is.... as I expected a glowing light and a choir of angels to be singing when I eventually found one... LOL

That's exactly what it is Louise (key the choir and the glowing light

).

the egg developed for about another 10 days and developed some veins.... but then one by one the veins disappeared.

The same tortoise laid 4 eggs yesterday..... so fingers and toes crossed.
